Title: Portuguese Brazilian by Pimsleur ISBN: 0743517695 Publisher: Pimsleur Intl Inc Pub. Date: 01 October, 2000 Format: Audio CD Volumes: 4 List Price(USD): $19.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4
Rating: 3
Summary: Bait and switch!
Comment: I thought the first eight lessons were great and really enjoyed learning from them. Based on that alone, I would have given them a 5-start rating. However, I became extremely frustrated and felt "tricked" when I looked up the remaining lessons and discovered they cost [a lot]... I felt like the inexpensive introductory lessons ... were luring you into buying their more advanced and overpriced products. I also don't understand why their CD-sets are almost 20% more expensive than their cassette-tape sets. I really want to learn Portuguese, but I certainly cannot afford to spend [that much money].

Summary: A good but limited start
Comment: This tape or CD set is a nice introduction to Brazilian portuguese at a nice low price. You will learn the correct pronounication and, since vocabulary is introduced gradually with lots of review, you will not forgot what you have learned. Since it is all audio (no book) you can easily use this while driving. But you really don't learn that much material and will not be able to say more than some basic sentences when finished. Also, you will have no idea what the language looks like on paper - and when you do see it, you might be very surprised. This beginning set continues with a full 30 lesson Pimsleur series that is very expensive and not really worth it if the same rate of progress occurs over the 30 lesson series as with this set. I suggest you try this introduction to learn some basics, and then move on to other materials to build on what you have learned.
Rating: 5
Summary: Very Good
Comment: These tapes really helped me to start off well and with the right pronunciation. Made a big difference!
